About Awarapan 2

Awarapan 2, directed by Nitin Kakkar, brings Emraan Hashmi back as Shivam Pandit, continuing the emotional and action-driven world of the 2007 cult favourite Awarapan. The film also stars Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi in the lead.

News18 Showsha gave this movie a 3-star rating. “Awarapan 2 may not have the cult magic of the first film, but it definitely knows how to entertain. Emraan Hashmi is terrific as Shivam, the action is a total paisa-vasool, and the nostalgia hits at just the right moments,” a part of our review reads.

About Batwara 1947

Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit, Batwara 1947 is a historical drama set against the backdrop of the Partition of India. The film stars Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta, Shabana Azmi, Ali Fazal and Karan Deol. It explores the human cost of Partition, displacement, communal tension and the resilience of people caught amid the upheaval.

News18 Showsha gave Sunny Deol’s film a 3-star rating. “Batwara 1947 may be far from perfect, but its heart is firmly in the right place. In a world fuelled by hatred, violence and religious disharmony, the film arrives as a beacon of light for those consumed by such corrosive emotions. It entertains, but it also leaves behind an important message of peace and brotherhood. Most crucially, it makes a persuasive case for the old warning that an eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind,” our review reads.
